About Healthy Hydroponics Innotech
Founded in 2022 in Waterloo, Ontario, Healthy Hydroponics was initially a Metagenom Bio Life Science Inc. project funded by the Canadian Agricultural Partnership to determine the baseline microbiome in hydroponic systems in the context of crop protection and food safety. Since then, the team has worked with growers in Canada and the USA to demonstrate the benefits of routine microbiome surveillance. The uniqueness of Healthy Hydroponics' services is that they permit the tracking of a multitude of pathogens, even in the absence of symptoms, providing indications of disease potential. The team has also worked hard to create a virtual tool to help growers keep track of the history of pathogens in their hydroponic systems in a way that is easy to interpret and make decisions.
